Police in Corrales, N.M., have uncovered what they believe to be the largest meth lab ever in their community. The lab was found in a home that sits next to an elementary school.

Corrales police chief Ray Vigil said that police had been surveying the house for the past six months. Tuesday morning one of his officers saw a man from the house dump trash in the school dumpster nearby, the chief reported.

"After examining it we found evidence that it was a meth lab," Vigil said.

Police later learned that a 15-month-old boy was living in the house.

Police have arrested one man, who they say has admitted to cooking meth 50 times this year. A 34-year-old woman living in the house has been charged with child endangerment.
